February: Polar Swells and Stiff Offshore Winds
February keeps the winter momentum going with an average swell height around 9ft (2.7m) and the same 11.8-second average period. The swell distribution is even more concentrated than January: WSW (14.2%), SW (12.8%), and SSW (6.9%) combine for nearly 34 percent of total energy, with W adding another 5.2 percent. The offshore wind machine spins up again, with NE-ENE-E flow accounting for the majority of the ideal 54 percent - ENE alone blows 14.2 percent of the time. Air temps stay near 2.1°C and water dips to 5.5°C, so it is a cold, punchy month with plenty of winter grind. The combination of strong groundswell and offshore flow can produce firing, hollow peaks at Sandy Beach.
